The Proposition Submitted by the Owners Should Be Acted Upon One Wey or Aw other—Tbs Line Is a Necenlty to thl City. The people of Americui must take some action In regard to the street rail way aa the matter haa now become of serious Import to the town. The time of personal prejudice has passed, and it now behooves every busi ness man and property holder In tliecltj to combine and give to the public by a concerted action this necessary adjunct. The street railway in itself represents a foreign corporation, it is true, but it seems to a close observer that the old line may be bought and operated at a less expense than the amount requisite to destroy the present system and inau gurate a new one. And In that connec tion the Timks-Kecoimikii suggests that for the time being 4I10 public bury all all personal feeling in the matter and co-operate for the general good. The proposition made to the owners after the receiver's sale will probably be accepted if reiterated, and with careful study it appears to be, for both sides,per tectly fair. The guarantee of (I per cent, interest on the purchase price secures to the bondholders a first-class income from the investment, while the indemnity from the damage suits promised them makes of the stock a sure call. There is no doubt that the owners now see their mistako in not accopting the first proposition made .them, as by the letter quoted yesterday they now are anxious to deal with our people on the original terms. Of course the appearances are now against the spirit of good faith in which they recently proposed to deal, but it must be considered that the operation of the line is a necessity, even if the terms be not so advantageous as they might. Cannot some good, conservative citi zen go to work and secure the necessary company which will operate the now worse than useless line. The spirit of the citizens, meeting Tuesday evening was that the road be operated or removed from the streets, where, in its present hindering position, it only amounts to an obstruction; OFFICIAL COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. REGULAR MECTINO. Council Chamukk, Americus, Os., November 3, 1891. Present—Hayor Felder, AUlermen Bivins, Logan, Williams, Davenport, Williford and Wheatley.
